Why bother having the COBOL program look for a specific DDNAME? Just call the assembler program to do the RDJFCB. If the DDNAME was not present the assembler routine can provide an appropriate return code to the COBOL program. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
